David Beaty is still searching for his first victory as KU’s coach, and he’ll never have an easier opportunity than this. Rhode Island, which is 5-41 in its last four seasons while competing at the FCS level, is 0-13 all-time against FBS teams.
KU finds itself on the right side of a blowout. The Jayhawks haven’t won a game by more than 21 points since Turner Gill’s first year in 2010.
